Thank goodness we are in he clear. Yesterday was the final day to watch Liam for any signs of the virus. I happy to report that I only have a teething little man on my hands. What a sigh of relief. Thank goodness Carson is feeling better as well. Poor little guy was unable to eat for a couple of days. We are glad you are feeling better.
Hand Foot Mouth Disease
October 15, 2010
Say it ain't so! Unfortunately, my nephew had Hand Foot Mouth disease. I received the call today that I need to keep an eye on Liam since they were together on Wednesday. I can only pray that Liam does not get this. I have heard about it before, but never really knew what it was about. Needless to say a quick call to the Dr. T. and googling the virus was the highlight of Friday evening. The virus and a teething little one does not sound like a weekend of fun to me, but a mother's job is never ending. So, we will be hanging at home this weekend instead of hitting the pumpkin patch with friends.
We hope you feel better soon Carson!
First Tooth
October 17, 2010
Gone are the days of toothless smiles. It is official, Liam has his first tooth. It is so cute to see him with this one white tooth peeking through his smile.
Liam has been a real trooper during this stage. There have been a couple of sleepless nights here and there, but overall not too bad. He has been a bit on the fussy side a couple of days, but has not had a fever or a rash thus far. Liam does tend to drool or spit a bit when laughing and or talking. Of course this is due to the increase amount of saliva. He tends to drool throughout the day and goes through a number of bibs. However, during the night, the amount of drool seems to decrease. This may be due to the fact that he has started closing his mouth when sleeping.
Now that we have seen the first tooth, I am sure a few more are on there way. I have read that I can expect four new teeth every four months until he has a complete set. I hope the next four months go as smoothly.
I will post a pic of the Liam's new smile soon.
